Material testing is where a lot of new product ideas start. In this quick DTF Station test, we asked a simple question: can DTF print on genuine leather? The video walks through the process: 302°F for a 10-second pre-press, 302°F for a 15-second press, warm peel, cool down, and a 10-second finish press. The visible result is a vibrant, detailed transfer on leather. For decorators and print shops, tests like this are a practical way to explore new applications before building a full product line. What non-traditional surface would you test next? #DTFPrinting #DirectToFilm #PrintIndustry #CustomApparel #ProductDecoration #SmallBusinessManufacturing #DTFStation

Dealer Highlight: Grimco at Impressions Expo. We met with Jonathan Strickland from Grimco's Apparel Sales team to break down what separates Grimco from other DTF Station distributors. Three reasons print shops buy DTF Station through Grimco: 1. 65+ distribution locations across North America shorten delivery times 2. Free shipping on orders over $150 3. A Prestige R2 Pro + Miro 13 Max bundle If you're evaluating DTF for your shop or scaling an existing operation, Grimco's footprint and bundle pricing are worth a conversation. #DTFStation #Grimco #DTFPrinting #Apparel #PrintShopEquipment

One of the most overlooked variables in DTF production is white ink suspension. White ink pigment settles faster than CMYK. If your ink is sitting still between jobs, your output quality is already degrading before you hit print. The Eddy2 solves this with automated, continuous mixing. Two bottles load into the system, agitation runs consistently, and your white ink stays production-ready throughout the day. Less troubleshooting. Less waste. More consistent output at scale. This is the kind of workflow detail that separates shops printing 100 transfers a day from shops printing 1,000. #DTFPrinting #GarmentDecoration #PrintProduction #WorkflowOptimization #DTFStation #CustomApparel #DTFInk #ManufacturingTech

Labor is one of the largest costs in any production environment, yet one of the most overlooked inefficiencies is manual folding. When folding becomes a bottleneck, it limits throughput, introduces inconsistency, and pulls your team away from higher-value work. The FoldFlex 100 addresses this by delivering: • Consistent, professional folds • Increased output per operator • Reduced physical strain • Integrated bagging efficiency Automation in production isn’t about replacing people. It’s about reallocating labor to where it drives growth. At scale, the question shifts from “Can we automate this?” to “Why haven’t we already?” #DTFPrinting #Automation #ManufacturingEfficiency

Automation continues to reshape the garment decoration workflow. The Arc 136 flatbed cutter from DTF Station allows print shops to automate cutting for both traditional DTF transfers and UV DTF decals. Its vacuum flatbed system keeps film flat while processing full rolls, delivering consistent, precise cuts that eliminate manual trimming. With a 36-inch cutting width compatible with most DTF printers, the Arc 136 helps streamline production and improve transfer consistency. For smaller setups, the Arc 127 remains available as a compact alternative. #PrintAutomation #DTFPrinting #GarmentPrinting

The garment printing market continues to evolve, and distributors are adapting. At the Impressions Expo, Jaime Grinillo from Kelly Spicers shared why their company aligned with DTF Station. With 25 locations across the Western United States, Kelly Spicers has long served the print market with paper and wide-format solutions. Now they are expanding into garment decoration with Direct-to-Film printing systems. As demand for DTF continues to grow, distributors are looking for reliable, full-solution platforms that support their customers as they expand into new revenue streams. #DTFPrinting #PrintIndustry #GarmentPrinting
